The print’s job will be sent via the RDP channels from the RDS server to the RDS client, where the job will be sent to the print device/queue. The first category is named Client Printer Redirection, which means that the printer is connected from the client via the RDP client into the RDS session. A printer assigned via the RDS client, where the printer device is defined on the client itself and a printer connected directly via the network (so connected from a printer server or directly via a hostname/ip-address). There are ways printers can be connected within an RDS session. However, I still regularly come across customers where there are misconceptions of the way printers and drivers are used within RDS infrastructures. Printers within RDS SessionsĮxperienced people can skip this paragraph as printing within Terminal Services/Remote Desktop Services has not changed fundamentally over the years. The good thing is that this article applies to all Windows Server versions since Windows 2008 R2. Later on in this article you will see why I personally think that with some small improvements this feature would have been much better. Windows Server 2012 R2 is the latest version and nothing has changed in all these years and different versions of Windows Server. Changes to Easy Print since Window Server 2008 R2 In this article I will start with explaining the printer connection possibilities, followed by describing which configuration options are available, what happens when a specific setting is configured and what Microsoft could do to improve this feature. The easy print feature is a Microsoft solution for limiting the amount of drivers used by printers that are mapped via the client printer redirection option. In Windows Server 2008 R2 Microsoft introduced the Easy Print feature.
